Home Sales WILL increase...and soon!

Basically, I am an optimist that has fallen into a bit of a trough. 2009 looks bleak and Peter Schiff, who predicted this whole mess years ago, is predicting a continuation of our woes. The guy has been phenominally accurate.

There are some realities, however, that give me hope. ...More than half of the owners of the top 350 firms nationwide are aged 55 and older. If they haven’t started already, these owners will soon be looking for ways to cash out of their businesses and set up their retirement. These are qualified, experienced home-buyers who already understand a great deal about real estate investing. They will demand the best possible representation from the most competent of realtors. In many cases, these retirees will be looking at purchasing more than one home. There is a numbers game going on here that cannot be denied.

The reality: THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF BUYERS SHOWING UP! We just need to hone our skills and survive the winter.
